Reception: Friday, March 22, 2024
12 to 2:30 p.m.
with remarks at 1 p.m.
Maximizing Minimalism invites the viewer into a visually quiet experience of elegant simplicity. Visitors are given the opportunity, and perhaps a challenge, to escape the chaotic, over-stimulating world in which we live. The artists in this exhibit strip away excess embellishments to present purity and subtlety, promote space for thought, and to prompt questions about what is necessary, what is superfluous, and how we can distill complex ideas into fundamental elements. Since its inception in the 1960's, Minimalism has made an impact on the art world as an inspirational resource for many artists.
The artists of Maximizing Minimalism are Robert Fields, John Fraser, Amanda Gentry, Yvette Kaiser-Smith, and Beverly Rautenberg. The materials they use in their art include stoneware ceramics, enamel, felt, wood, and mixed media collage.
